" IGNITING DEVIGE.

` To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE W. AURINGER, acitizen of the United States, residing at New Rockford, in the county ofEddy and State of North Dakota, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Igniting Devices, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in igniting devices and hasparticular application to a gas igniting device.

In carrying out the present invention, it is my purpose to provide adevice of the class described which may be readily attached to a gasburner and removed therefrom and which when in applied position will beconnected up with the controlling.

valve or gas cock in such manner that when the latter is vactuated toopen position the igniting device will be operated to ignite the gasissuing from the burner or tip as the case may be. Y

It is also my purpose to provide a device of the class described whichwill embrace the desired features of simplicity, etiiciency anddurability coupled with cheapness of cost in manufacture and marketingand which may be readily and conveniently installed and maintained at aminimum exense.

I/Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists inthe construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter setforth in and falling within the scope of the claim. i

In the accompanying drawing; Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of agas burner equipped with the present invention. Fig. 2 is a top planview thereof, and Fig. 3 is a view in end elevation of the abradingmember.

-Referring now to the accompanying drawing in detail, the numeral 1designates a gas burner of any approved or well known construction,while 2 indicates the controlling valve or cut oft cock by means ofwhich the flow of gas to the tip of the burner is regulated andcontrolled. In the present instance, the stem of the controlling valve 2is equipped with a cross arm 3 to the. free extremities of which arefastened chains 4 depending from the cross arm and x:terminating infinger rings 5. ly means of this construction, it will be seen that whenone Specification of Letters Patent.

chain 4 is pulled in a downward direction, the cross arm 3 will be swungso as to throw the controlling valve to open position, while when theother chain is moved downwardly, the cross arm will be actuated to movethe In the embodiment of my invention selected for illustrativepurposes, my imm proved igniting device embodies a spark producing block6 suitably secured to a band 'i' encircling the tip end of the burner 1,and a lever 8 fulcrumed between its ends upon stud 9 carried by a. band10 surrounding the burner tube 1 below the band 7, the bands 7 and 1Qbeing preferably split and each having the confronting ends thereofoutturned to form lugs adapted to receive a set screwll whereby therespective band may be clamped upon the tube.

Pivotally connected lto one end of the lever 8. that is, the outer eiidof such lever, is a' link 12 having the lower extremity thereofpivotally connected asl at 14 to one end of the cross arm 3, whileformedin the free end of the lever 8, that is, the inner end of thelever, is a diagonal slot 15 in which is seated a spring-like abradingelement 16 having the relatively high edge thereof contacting with thespark producing block 6 so that when the abrading element is movedupwardly over the block sparks willA be emitted by the latter, whileinthe downward movement of they abrading element such element will idleoverthe block and thereby eliminate waste. l

From the foregoing description taken in connection with theaccompanyingdrawing the construction, mode of operation and manner ofemploying my invention will be readily apparent. In the downward move,ment of the respective chain 4 to open the valve, the link l2 movesdownwardly and so swings the lever 8 about the stud 9 thereby elevatingthe inner end of thelever. As

the inner end of the lever 8 moves upwardly,` the respective edge of theabrading element 16 rides over the spark producing block 6 and so causesthe latter to'emit sparks with the elfect to ignite the gas issuing fromthe burner tube. On the other hand, whenA the other chain 4 is pulled soas to cut of? the supply of gas to the burner, the abraing element 16idles over the spark producing block 6 in the downward movement of the.t

inner end of the lever 8 under the action of seated within said slot.and disposed at an the link 12, thereby prolonging the life of angle tosaid block and adapted when moved the s ark producing block. thereoverin an upward direction to'cause I c aim: the production of sparks, andwhen moved 5 The combination with a gas burner, a in the reversedirection, to idlel over the 20 controlling valve therefor, and meansfor block, and a link connection between said operating said valve, ofan igniting device valve operating means and the free end of comprisinga spark producing block, consaid lever whereby in the movement of thenectlonsbetween said block and burner, a valve the sparking device willbe operated. 10 pivot stud, a connection between said stud In testimonwhereof I aiiX my signature 25 and burner, a lever fulcrumed between itsin presence o two witnesses.
